Silicon Savant :

NEVER fill it out this is ALWAYS a scam.

Customer:

Could there be a virus already running on my computer that is sending out these emails and can I monitor them.

Silicon Savant :

If you have re-secured the account you should be good to go from here, the emails will stop.

Customer:

I con not know for sure until a few days have passed and no more emails are going out. I can only take your word that this has resolved the issue. I guess that is all thqat I can do at this poiint unless there is something else that I can do to monitor the sent emails.

Silicon Savant :

You might dowmload that program I gave you and run it on your PC.

Silicon Savant :

Just to be sure you don't have some virus.

Silicon Savant :

Delete everything it finds.

Silicon Savant :

Take care,

Customer:

By the way none of these emails were showing up in my outlook sent mail box. I was wondering if some how a virus could be sending emails from my machine without it being recorded in outlook?

Silicon Savant :

Don't forget to ACCEPT if I helped you today.

Silicon Savant :

it was sending from the AOL account not outlook.

Silicon Savant :

as long ass the AOL account is resecured you should be ok.

Silicon Savant :

Plus alot of spammers will delete the message in the sent or outbox folders to erase any trace they were there.
